Haiti vs Scotland
📖 The Preview
Scotland go into this one as clear favourites and a 2-1 win looks the likeliest outcome. Haiti can cause problems and should get on the scoresheet, so this won't be a stroll, but Scotland's quality gap at World Cup level is hard to ignore. The 65 percent win probability tells you most of what you need to know. Both teams scoring makes sense given Haiti's attacking threat at home, but Scotland look solid enough to edge it and take the three points.

🎲 Betting Tips
Both Teams to Score: Yes
The 1-2 scoreline projects both teams scoring. The engine's underlying probability model gives both sides enough offensive output to find the net.
Over 2.5 Goals: Yes
Total goals predicted at 2 (0-2), pointing toward under 2.5. While Scotland have attacking quality, Haiti's defensive resilience at home (0.77 conceded per game) and Scotland's disciplined approach in a World Cup opener suggest a controlled, efficient win rather than a high-scoring affair.
